Nice - I have a note on this bank somewhere as well. Sure let's do the highest charter number next, which shouldn't be long - as I said, this will likely be a very short thread.

scopru - Here is that Charter 64 like yours. Seems to be a fairly common bank.  |

Coinfrog: I'm always lurking around, just don't post much. Picked up this Youngstown,Ohio note a few weeks ago. Would you know what bank is #2?  Scopru: Thank You.. |

Yes, #2 is FNB of New Haven, CT. Seeing your Youngstown note makes me wonder how they assigned charter numbers back (in this case) for the original series of 1863. How would Youngstown have been assigned such a low number? According to the census, the population in 1863 was only about 4,000.

Charter numbers were granted to banks on a first come, first serve basis. What I mean is if the bankers had all their paperwork, purchased the necessary bonds which granted them circulation privilege before they would be granted a charter. Jay Cooke, a financier suggested national banks chartered by the government to the Lincoln administration. When the legislation passed the group of Philadelphia bankers sought to be the first bank chartered by the government. I just found a source that stated, the First National Bank of New Haven actually had their paperwork in first on May 25, 1863 whereas the Philadelphia bankers filed on May 28th. A member of the New Haven organizers, Representative James E. English politely withdrew New Haven's so that Jay Cooke's would become the first chartered under the new program.
